Rex Orange County performing "Corduroy Dreams" Live on KCRW

Rex Orange County is not from Southern California. In fact, it’s the moniker of 20-year-old UK musician Alex O'Connor, whose star has risen swiftly on the strength of the insanely catchy single Loving Is Easy. He brings his unique modern pop sound to KCRW's studio in Santa Monica for a live session.

[@krisnataufik3408]

Lmao XD

[@rinielvillacater1321]

welp they gots to make it child friendly, ya know? originally it was "that's just fucking weird" which I find hilarious.

[@kierstenrossing]

why does he sound exactly the same as the studio version.. aghh so talented

[@benh7506]

I also think he is crazy talented but hate to break it to ya but performances like these are usually edited in post production (meaning his pitch may or not be...still a chance not though)

[@lisagoodstein5672]

Kiersten Rossing bro how does anyone whistle like that like I actually love him

[@swdunk]

Ben Hutcherson he sounds the same live

[@rudolphdandelion6840]

I forgot it was a live performance! ​

[@kaded_]

I saw him live and he sounds exactly the same

[@edsharp2676]

This is the first song that he ever wrote, that is not fair. At all.

[@kayleekeeney]

Ed Sharp irk and at 16

[@Kodamair]

I find that very debatable... but go off i guess :/

[@tunesquicklee]

couldn't he just have said "cause that's just tricking weird"

[@snipershot498]

Amy YES THATS THE PERFECT WAY TO DESCRIBE IT ~

[@rasheedwallace2181]

How could I ignore you? Trust me I adore you We're swimming through our dreams Kiss me in the shower For a couple hours Though we're only sixteen And sit down beside me Don't call me daddy Cause i think thats kinda weird Promise that you'll stay here You and I can lay here Until the end of time But girl, well don't you worry about me It ain't new to me, feeling this lonely (darling) Girl, don't worry about me But if you're ever unhappy Then maybe, baby, I must let you go Let you go Baby now it's best here, to lay me down and rest here Let's dream of Corduroy Work for what you love to do and I will watch right over you With your heart I'll never toy And you're the other half of me Drink and sleep and laugh with me Take me from myself See I'm a fucking basket-case Until I'm able to see your face You saved me from myself But girl, don't worry about me Cause it ain't new to me, feeling this lonely Darling baby, girl, don't worry about me Cause if you're ever unhappy, if you're ever unhappy If you're ever, ever unhappy Then maybe, maybe baby I must let you go

[@rackyly5655]

It's even better

[@JP-sw9vm]

Tooth gap

[@Imloganmiller]

Jayz Piolo nah that’s not why

[@clairedresser]

Can we all just appreciate how well this man can whistle?

[@dorion6983]

I learned how to whistle this from the second time listening and I can do it almost perfect and In tune

[@WappoWappoman]

I thought I was a really good whistler. I’m not a really good whistler

[@Maddi-tron5000]

Jay-Jay Acance 😂😂

[@bobfrediii2131]

Yes but if you call your bf babe he can respond with babe too Babe/babe - ok Daddy/baby - not ok

Daddy is what CHILDREN call their fathers. That's why it's kinda weird in a sexual way
